the system is no longer just

People are just wising up. In America religion was a catalyst to getting employees to put their nose down and work hard and employers (at their best) would agree to treat their employees justly. But in the last 40 years employers have tried to milk this for all it’s worth without holding up their end of the bargain. It worked for a while but eventually employees wised up and started working like they were disposable. And more recently the younger generation is dropping out of religion like flies because for them there has never been a time where the social contract was more than a piece of paper.

People seem to forget that you only reap what you sow.

The system will bend over backwards to get us to believe it is just. This is because if we believe the system is just then we’ll feel a lot worse when we go up against it. I was brought up Christian and to believe the system was just. And it was more just when my parents were growing up, in the early 80’s a church my dad worked at even paid international airfare to get my eyes checked every six months while they were in Honduras. But my experience after 2000 is the Christian and secular system is no longer just. But because I was brought up to believe the system was just I feel worse going up against it than I probably should. I know the upcoming generation won’t and I’m happy for them.
